I don't think you are wasting your money. Current AAFP guidelines indicate cats should be tested when sick regardless of prior test results. "Cats should be tested for FeLV infection under the following circumstances: Whenever they are sick, regardless of age, negative results of previous FeLV tests, and FeLV vaccination status." http://www.aafponline.org/resources/guidelines/Felv_FIV_Guidelines.pdf -- Rescuties - Saving the world, one cat at a time. http://www.rescuties.org Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20 Please help George! http://rescuties.chipin.com/george I GoodSearch for Rescuties.
